A recent announcement from former Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney has once again shined a spotlight on and brought to the forefront discussion of a health issue many men might prefer to ignore. That issue is a diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer, a cancer of the male reproductive system, is the second most common form of cancer affecting men in the United States. The prostate is a small gland about the size of a walnut that produces the seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperm. Men sixty-five or older are the ones most likely to get prostate cancer. In 2017 alone approximately 161,360 American men were diagnosed with the disease. Romney’s cancer was treated successfully with surgery. His surgeon, Dr. Thomas Ahlering of UC Irvine Hospital in California now has him on the road to recovery.

If you are one of the unfortunate ones who receives a diagnosis of prostate cancer, where should you go for help? The first stop you should make on the road to health and healing is the office of a qualified and experienced urologist/oncologist. A man like Dr. David Samadi should be your first line of defense when battling prostate cancer.
